Import Tips
• Label as 'clarinet-specific' with mouthpiece compatibility to distinguish from universal reed holders
• Provide material certificates (e.g
• nickel-plated brass) for accurate duty assessment
• Bundle with reeds only if imported as a set; separate shipments avoid set classification issues
